Hi All,
I'm currently setting up three nRF52840 DK nodes, two nodes are routers and one is an end-device. My plan is to introduce more node in the network later on. The IP address details of the nodes are as follows:
Router 1 (Leader):
- fdde:ad00:beef:0:0:ff:fe00:fc00 -> ALOC (mesh-local address)
- fdde:ad00:beef:0:0:ff:fe00:1c00 -> RLOC (mesh-local address)
- fe80:0:0:0:c92:de40:d6ef:513b -> link-local address
- fdde:ad00:beef:0:560f:4aeb:113f:5f7a -> EID (static mesh-local address)
Router 2:
- fdde:ad00:beef:0:0:ff:fe00:ec00 -> RLOC (mesh-local address)
- fe80:0:0:0:e057:3279:bc6c:5ffb -> link-local address
- fdde:ad00:beef:0:70b4:fe8b:8abe:dc3b -> EID (static mesh-local address)
End-device (Child):
- fdde:ad00:beef:0:0:ff:fe00:1c04 -> RLOC (mesh-local address)
- fe80:0:0:0:4476:cf6f:7ddc:68ca -> link-local address
- fdde:ad00:beef:0:f138:c427:a3e9:7e -> EID (static mesh-local address)
I would like to test OpenThread's multi-hopping capabilities by sending a packet from Router 1 to the End-device. Between Router 1 and the End-device there is an obstacle and therefore Router 1 won't be able to send a packet to the End-device node directly. Router 2 is used to bridge the obstacle and as far as I understand, should relay the packet send from Router 1 to the End-device. Unfortunately, my batteries died on me, and I couldn't complete the test. My question is, will the OpenThread stack automatically ensure multi-hopping and meshing between routers in the network? I'm using the static IP address of the End-device node to send a packet from Router 1.
Best regards,
Roger
